MS Dhoni’s reputation precedes him as a cricketer known for his exceptional captaincy, wicketkeeping skills, batting prowess, lightning-fast stumping, agile running between the wickets, ability to strike a last-ball six, trademark helicopter shots, and his impressive collection of ICC trophies. His contribution to Indian cricket is truly indescribable.
As a captain, MS Dhoni holds the distinction of winning three ICC trophies: the ICC World Cup in 2007, the ICC World Cup in 2011, and the ICC Champions Trophy in 2013. He is the only captain in the history of the sport to achieve this feat. Even after relinquishing the role of international captain on January 4, 2017, he continued to serve the team as a wicketkeeper-batsman.
Dhoni’s final appearance in international cricket occurred during the ICC World Cup 2019 semi-final against New Zealand. He bid farewell to all forms of international cricket on August 15, 2020, as confirmed by his own Instagram post. Throughout his career, MS Dhoni represented India in 90 Tests, 350 ODIs, and 98 T20Is.
His down-to-earth personality serves as a tremendous inspiration to cricket enthusiasts worldwide. Since retiring from international cricket, MS Dhoni has actively showcased his skills and expressed himself in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
During his captaincy, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) emerged victorious in the IPL on five occasions, the joint-most by any team in the tournament’s history. Recently, CSK secured a five-wicket victory (DLS Method) against the Gujarat Titans.
